Re: Creating an admin side welcome page
Sencer or other folk,
How do you recommend styling the dashboard page? I am guessing you can’t just put your own DOM in there right? treat the form asy_dashboard like a page?
Even if its just minor styling, it would be nice to take the tags that sencer put in for us as default and just pull them off the left a bit?
Thanks,
matthew

How do you recommend styling the dashboard page?
you can put all the html and (inline) css and javascript and txp-tags in the form* you like. (* the form you have to create- see the help of the plugin where it gives the “default” content).

Not sure what you are asking. Did my answer above tell you what you need to know?

Sencer,
That’s exactly what I needed to know. Inline works fine. It just takes a little getting used to.
Thanks again for this, it suits the community aspect of my site perfectly.

Just thought I’d mention that, thanks to this great plug-in, TextGarden now has it’s own splash-screen if you want to see one in action. Of course you will need a login but that’s up to you isn’t it? :)

Re: Creating an admin side welcome page
Has anyone been able to apply this with the “dashboard” in its own tab so that its not just visible upon signin? I am interested in using this as a tab for tutorials.
So it would be ideal if I could write the tutorials in section “tutorials” and those articles could show up —-> Admin side.
Any thoughts,
Matthew

I’d love some help.

Also, is there a way to only show the dashboard to certain users?
Thanks

Blumie,
If you edit the plugin a bit you can get it to show on its own tab, but its not clean really.
It would take someone who knows what they are doing to get the functionality you are looking for.
What are you trying to achieve?

Re: Creating an admin side welcome page
This is a great plugin! Thanks!
It would be even more wonderful if it would be possible to personalize the page to the current user: not only show the most recent articles, but also that user’s most recent articles. (Am I right in assuming that if this is based on recent_articles, there is no way to get an author specific article list?)
And I agree with ma_smith that a tab for this would be very handy. If it’s to be a dashboard, users will want to return to it.
